[Insight-developers] ITK -TCON 2.0 : Second Life : Friday August 22nd : 1pm EST

[Luis Ibanez]

A reminder that we will be holding the ITK Tcon on
Second Life this Friday, August 22nd at 1pm EST.


The main points in the Agenda are:
http://www.itk.org/Wiki/Agenda%26Status_082208


   1) Naming of next ITK Release :  "4.0" versus "3.10"

   2) Making the Oriented Images the default ITK Image

   3) Statistics Refactoring Status


Instructions on how to join the Tcon are in the Wiki:

   http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK_in_Second_Life


You can teleport to the "Linden Open Source Project HQ"
with the following link:

Please remember that you will need headphones and a microphone.


Regarding the multi-lingual options, we have seen that there
are multiple voice channels, and that we could have separate
channels per language (e.g. English, French, Spanish...).


The Second Life client will work on Linux, Mac and Windows.


Please let us know if you find any difficulties setting
up your systems.



    Thanks


       Luis
